It’s the first Live Music List of the year and we’re back to covering Thirsty Thursday through Sunday Funday! It’s a light weekend for entertainment as we all recover from holiday hangovers and settle into 2025. Local artists are shining in the spotlight at these versatile venues across Northeastern Pennsylvania. Pick one and get out there for good jams and a good time!
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
Cover Photo of the Week: We The Living is a four-piece rock band out of NEPA that covers a variety of songs throughout the genre, leveraging high-powered vocals and masterful instruments. See this up-and-coming act this Friday, January 3, in Dunmore at the HonkyTonk Restaurant & Saloon.
